NOVPUBWhen Tu Lie returned with a grim expression, Shen Roujia had just finished setting up the scene and asked, “Big Brother, how did it go?”
Tu Lie’s expression alone gave Shen Roujia the answer, but someone as perceptive as Shen Roujia already understood his thoughts. This situation couldn’t continue like this.
Tu Lie responded with a simple, “Let’s proceed as you suggested for the next few days. I’m done on my end.”
Hearing this, Shen Roujia knew Tu Lie had already spoken with Ai Yigu. Everything was now in place; they just needed the right moment.
Shen Roujia nodded, then added, “Let’s wait and see how things unfold. It might not be a serious matter, but Big Brother, you need to prepare yourself mentally.”
Tu Lie knew Shen Roujia was trying to comfort him, but he was fully aware of the situation. Regardless of Ai Yigu’s reasons, he couldn’t blindly trust her. After all, she was still a part of the Dayue.
She was someone who should have been guarded against from the beginning. Ai Yigu’s methods were indeed clever—she knew how to appear humble and pitiful, which lowered people’s defenses.
Shen Roujia thought the same, and it was clear that both siblings shared the same insight.
Shen Roujia didn’t know exactly what Tu Lie was thinking, but she realized her plan had already succeeded by more than half. The thought brought a smile to her face.
As Shen Roujia left, holding the wolf cub, Tu Lie glanced at the scene they had set up before departing as well.
